The skilled digit de-stressing staff at Liquid Hair Studio artfully revives frazzled fingertips and tuckered out toes with a relaxing array of nail services. During the manicure, mitts molt their drab feathers in an exfoliative soak and, after an expert polish application, flaunt their shiny plumage to envious onlookers. Pedicure professionals then tend to feet exhausted from constantly walking on eggshells as they scrub away rough spots, massage fraught phalanges, and festoon nails with cheer-inducing color. Guests emerge from the serene, sense-soothing salon with velvety hands and hooves, ready to cartwheel all the way home.

If it weren’t for mani-pedis, there’d be practically no reason to wear sandals or fingerless gloves. The techs at Cover Nails have been preparing fingers and toes for public exposure for 10 years using current artisan techniques and services. These staffers expertly coat nails in long-lasting OPI gel polishes and Solar pink and white French tips, which are capable of withstanding the yellowing effects of tanning, smoking, or sleeping on mattresses made of banana peels.

Jessica Massmann commands one of the styling chairs at Moxie Salon and Day Spa. There, she tailors haircuts to every client's face and features. She also revamps styles with highlights and coloring treatments, and gives referrals for colleagues who specialize in nail care and other spa services.

During Crystal Euphoria Body Spa's relaxing bodywork treatments, the touch of the massage therapist's skilled hands feels like the ultimate reward for weathering life’s daily stresses. These treatments come in several forms. Traditional Swedish and deep-tissue massages work to ease tension and frayed nerves, and prenatal massages alleviate muscle soreness caused by carrying extra baby weight and pile-driving all those strangers who try to touch your stomach. An aesthetician can also help turn back the clock with nourishing facials, which include everything from exfoliation to aromatherapy.

Reds, yellows, purples, and every color in between. Some are glittery, others metallic. Some have names such as Berry Kiss and Midnight Hour, while others are simply called Crimson. The bottles stand in a line like colorful soldiers, waiting to be plucked from their shelf and painted onto fingernails and toenails. The kaleidoscope of polish options makes every day different for 15-year nailcare veteran Dawn, who provides custom nail services to fit each client's personality and tastes. She also expertly applies acrylic nails and offers Shellac polish for those prone to chipping their nails in their house made of diamonds.
